The flanking bays each have a giant pilastered architrave with plain frieze, moulded cornice and enriched upstand, framing at ground floor a canted bay window with hornless 2/2 sashes and at first floor a window with two narrow 1/1 sashes (also hornless). Side-wall chimneys.
The additional bay to the right, narrower and lower, with a banded corner pilaster, plain frieze and moulded cornice, has one 1/1 unhorned sash on each floor, both with moulded architraves and the lower with a cornice. The left (south) return wall has a canted bay window and towards the rear a large oriel on brackets.
